CTS4F-6R8J

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS4F-6R8J is a shielded axial leaded general purpose inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 6.8 µH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component has a maximum rated current of 0.56 A and a DC resistance of 0.75 Ω. Its self-resonant frequency is 62 MHz, measured at a test frequency of 7.9 MHz. The minimum quality factor at the nominal inductance is 42. It operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C. The package is tubular with axial terminals, and it is RoHS compliant.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Shielded construction for reduced electromagnetic interference
• Axial leaded configuration for through-hole mounting
• RoHS compliant and lead-free design

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF inductor circuits
• General purpose filtering applications
• Power supply input/output stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the CTS4F-6R8J to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal ratings. Ensure compatibility with axial through-hole assembly processes. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards. Confirm availability from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded axial inductor is required for RF or general-purpose applications. Consider the 0.56 A current rating and 0.75 Ω DC resistance for circuit design. The 62 MHz self-resonant frequency defines its high-frequency limits. Compare against unshielded alternatives if cost is a primary constraint, noting the trade-off in EMI performance.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to Central Technologies' series of fixed inductors. It is specifically designed as a shielded axial inductor, distinguishing it from unshielded or surface-mount variants in the same product family. The '6R8' designation indicates the 6.8 µH value, while 'J' denotes the ±5% tolerance.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other shielded axial inductors with identical 6.8 µH inductance, ±5% tolerance, and similar current ratings. Verify that replacement parts meet the same 150 °C maximum operating temperature and RoHS requirements. Cross-reference with Central Technologies' own alternative series if pin-out or footprint constraints exist.
